2 2 The SmartPTT-based dispatching system can include several dispatch consoles, SmartPTT Radioservers and communication channels connecting them. Thus, technical requirements relate to three system components: 1. SmartPTT Dispatcher, 2. SmartPTT Radioserver Configurator, 3. Communication channels connecting SmartPTT Dispatcher and SmartPTT Radioserver, and communication channels connecting SmartPTT Dispatcher and MOTOTRBO repeaters. Dispatch control over NAI Voice netw ork However, the number of the required components can increase. This depends on the product type and required abilities. E.g., SmartPTT Enterprise supports MOTOTRBO Network Application Interface protocol (NAI) for voice and data packet transmission over radio network, and therefore it is obligatory to have MOTOTRBO Network Interface Service installed on the PC. 1. Minimum system requirements for SmartPTT Dispatcher 1. Intel Core i5 processor.

3 3 2. Windows 7 SP1 operating systems GB of RAM. Note: If the dispatch system handles GPS data and the number of radio subscribers exceeds , it is recommended to use Intel Core i7 processor with 8 MB L3 cache and 8 GB RAM. 4. Video adapter. We recommend using PCI-E video cards with at least 1 GB RAM, for instance GeForce GT730 DDR3 1 GB or Radeon R5 230 DDR3 1 GB. For dispatch systems, which are used primarily for voice transmission (i. e., without Indoor, maps or Monitoring), you can use CPU-integrated video cards, like Intel 4*** or 5***. Note: If the dispatch system handles GPS data and the number of radio subscribers exceeds , it is highly recommended to use PCI-E video card with at least 2 GB RAM, for instance GeForce GT730 GDDR5 2 GB or Radeon R7 250 GDDR5 2 GB. 5. Hard drive 7200 RPM or SSD (enterprise class is recommended for reliable data storage). The hard drive size depends on the size of the database and recorded calls. There must be at least 20 GB of the hard drive space available if you install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. If you use SQL Enterprise, free space depends on the planned volume of data. By default, calls are recorded with a bit rate of 40 Kbps. One minute of a call record takes approximately 300 Kb of your hard disk space. 6. Sound card. Use a high-quality audio card. If you install the dispatch system on a desktop PC, we recommend using internal PCI-E Sound Blaster Audigy R. If you install the dispatch system on a laptop, we recommend using gaming laptops, for they are usually equipped with high-quality audio cards. Also, you can use external audio cards, for example USB audio card Sound Blaster -Fi Go. Note: We recommend using desktop PCs equipped with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 (SS) ports, because many modern audio devices work only via these ports. 7. Audio recording and playback devices (microphone and speakers). It is required to use high quality audio recording devices, as it affects the sound quality of the whole system. 8. Ethernet network adapter. Note: Wireless connection can introduce significant latency that degrades sound quality. Do not use Wi-Fi connections for systems in field. 9. The display with the screen resolution greater than

4 4 10. Keyboard. 11. Mouse (a professional mouse and a hard mouse pad are recommended) or other pointing device. 2. Minimun system requirements for SmartPTT Radioserver 1. Intel Core i5 processor. 2. Windows 7 operating system GB of RAM. Note: If the dispatch system handles GPS data and the number of radio subscribers exceeds , it is recommended to use Intel Core i7 processor with 8 MB L3 cache and 8GB RAM. 4. Hard drive 7200 RPM or SSD (enterprise class is recommended for reliable data storage). The hard drive size depends on the size of the database and recorded calls. There must be at least 40 GB of the hard drive space available if you install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. If you use SQL Enterprise, there must be at least 10 GB of the hard drive space for the software and more free space for the database depending on the planned volume of data. By default, calls are recorded with a bit rate of 40 Kbps. A minute of a resulting audio takes approximately 300 Kb of your hard disk space. 5. Ethernet network adapter. Note: Wireless connection can introduce significant latency that degrades sound quality. Do not use Wi-Fi connections for systems in field. 6. Sound card. When control stations are used in SmartPTT system, SmartPTT Radioserver must be equipped with a multi-channel sound card. The hardware/firmware of the sound card has the direct and strong impact on the sound (voice) quality of the whole SmartPTT system. Do not use cheap and non-brand-name sound cards. We recommend you to use high quality sound cards, such as M-AUDIO Delta 1010LT, MAYA44Te, ICON Digital Cube Pro USB. If you need more than 4 audio channels, please send your query to the SmartPTT technical support service for assistance. Note: These are standard system requirements for SmartPTT Dispatcher and SmartPTT Radioserver. They can change depending on the configuration, complexity and/or workload of the system.

5 5 3. Calculation of the system capacity Total channel capacity should take into account the following factors: voice transmission, data transmission (text messages, GPS information), monitoring activity. Two lines should be considered: server to repeater/control station, client/server channel. Consider the voice transmission: SmartPTT Radioserver to radio equipment: o 10 kbps per voice channel in case of the system with repeaters. o 86 kbps in case of remote control stations. Please refer to SmartPTT Radioserver Configuration Guide for more information. o each of the value should be multiplied by an assurance coefficient (110% is the recommended minimum). o irrelevant in case of MOTOTRBO control stations (they have a separate input and output for audio). SmartPTT Radioserver to SmartPTT Dispatcher: o 10 kbps per voice channel in case of the system with repeaters; doubles in case of active monitoring. o kbps in case of control stations (depends on the codec selected on the source program), doubles in case of active monitoring. Please, refer to SmartPTT Radioserver Configuration Guide for more information. o Each of the value should be multiplied by an assurance coefficient (110% is the recommended minimum). Consider the monitoring of the systems: Independently on the system monitoring will consume 25 kbps per channel. for MOTOTRBO Hardware It's recommended to use firmware version of MOTOTRBO radios and repeaters not lower than R2.4. For Connect Plus network, the RC Controllers should have firmware version 1.5 or higher. Only Capacity Max 2.7 is fully supported by the current software. Reliable operation with earlier version of MOTOTRBO firmware is not guaranteed.

6 6 Note: MOTOTRBO repeaters in one network must have same firmware versions. The firmware versions of the repeaters and MOTOTRBO Network Interface Service must be compatible (you can find compatibility information in MNIS Release Notes). Note: Only repeaters with 32 MB of internal memory support NAI protocol. For all data functionality the required license should be installed. For voice transmission both licenses (Network Application Interface Data and Network Application Interface Voice) are required. Note: To receive emergency alarms and calls when working via control station, use a mobile radio with display. List of Ports Used by SmartPTT : Port is set by default and can be changed. 4001: Port can't be changed.
